As
could be seen the table top was characterized by the Normandy hedged
fields,
called Bocage, with very few points for crossing them.
the exceptions were the Tree points were they could traverse, with some
luck and expander of Action Points.

...José's
ones not only have a loot of trouble [their unit commander Initiative
didn't help...] but as soon as they emerged on the other side, a German
riflemen posted on the far Bocage bank, just shoot to death the Scout
element. The German element, will be very soon eliminated by a para in
Overwatch...

On Artur's flank, all is
still all right, with their elements traversing - with difficulty and
getting disorganized - the dreadful Bocage, rapidly advance to assault
positions on the Farm complex. This will have consequences in the next
Turns.

But hell will be rapidly let loose...
the advanced Artur's elements were ambush, by hidden elements on the
opposite hedge, and these will for they turn be shoot by the Artur's
riflemen in Overwatch.

After a short but intensive
fire fight, the allied had 5 causalities, and the Germans 3. After a quick
Initiative/Moral check, the allied units just panic, and all advance was
postponed until the arrival of reinforcements [really like the original
skirmish - just look at the link in the end of this page to get the
original operation]
